I have said for years that Buffalo is the most segregated city I've ever lived in. Turns out it is one of the top ten most segregated urban areas in the country, weighing in at number six. Of course we are dealing with a somewhat loaded category here: "urban area" is different from "city" after all. This map is a bit misleading too-- there are big stretches in Erie and Niagara counties that are pretty lightly populated, and this suggests a similar density throughout. Still, it is interesting all the same.
